How Could Plants Evolve? Answer: They Evolved

August 29, 2018 | David F. Coppedge

Darwinism has replaced the need for demonstration in science with the convenience of assertion.

When you read papers and articles that offer to explain how something evolved, what you often find are statements that they just evolved. Let’s see some examples.

Yes, there are endless “got’cha” questions I could pose. What bothers me is that Christian evolutionists remain silent in the face of the vast majority of Darwinists who censor people of Faith. Any discussion of God is beyond the bounds of “scientific” discussions, and they seem fine with that. I am NOT fine with it,

...

Can you define God in a scientific way?

Plantinga is a philosopher, but the the rules he follows for his logical arguments are just as strict as any for the physical sciences.

The article is profoundly stupid.

It's criticizing a paper about some obscure fact of plant biology for not being a paper attempting to prove evolution. As if every biology paper needed to prove evolution in order to say anything.

Of course the paper takes evolution for granted! It's a biology science paper about that adaption of certain plants. Evolution is a fact of biology that's not in question here. It would be absurd for the paper to do anything other than what it does.

The idiot writing this critique thinks you can't publish a biology paper without proving evolution each time.

They can’t accept the fact that ALL logic dictates that God exists, and is author of Special Creation. For those who reject ID, where exactly DOES God fit in their thinking, and why would they believe in Him at all, since He is unnecessary. If nothing but natural processes have been at work in evolving everything we observe, is God merely a spectator, surprised at every turn of events?

Instead of dictating, accusing, and using the caps lock key, you should do the hard work that people like Plantinga have done.

Again, you ignore my questions. If you are an expert on Plantinga, summarize his thoughts of how God fits in. I think that theistic evolutionists try to have it both ways, but they censor ideas which do not comport with naturalism.
Maybe I’ll look this guy up on youtube, and look for any debates he has had with credible ID’ers.

Absolutely, by people who pretend to have answers but have none.

People who ask questions and get answers have some type of authority. You have none.
